New insights from 3D simulations of heavy ion collisions
Gabriel Denicol, Akihiko Monnai, Sangwook Ryu +1
Viscous relativistic hydrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions is applied to describe heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. We present calculations of observables that are sensitive to the l…
Moving forward to constrain the shear viscosity of QCD matter
Gabriel Denicol, Akihiko Monnai, Bjoern Schenke
We demonstrate that measurements of rapidity differential anisotropic flow in heavy ion collisions can constrain the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity to entropy densit…
Chemically non-equilibrated QGP and thermal photon elliptic flow
Akihiko Monnai
It has been discovered in recent heavy-ion experiments that elliptic and triangular flow of direct photons are underpredicted by most hydrodynamic models. I discuss possible enhanc…
Pseudorapidity correlations in heavy ion collisions from viscous fluid dynamics
Akihiko Monnai, Bjoern Schenke
We demonstrate by explicit calculations in 3+1 dimensional viscous relativistic fluid dynamics how two-particle pseudorapidity correlation functions in heavy ion collisions at the…
Elliptic flow difference of charged pions in heavy-ion collisions
Yoshitaka Hatta, Akihiko Monnai, Bo-Wen Xiao
Recently, the STAR collaboration at RHIC has presented experimental evidence for the correlation between the elliptic flow difference of charged pions and charge asymmetry as a pos…
Flow harmonics at finite density
Yoshitaka Hatta, Akihiko Monnai, Bo-Wen Xiao
We generalize the Gubser solution of viscous hydrodynamics by including the finite density effect and analytically compute the flow harmonics . We explicitly show how an…
Effective distributions of quasi-particles for thermal photons
Akihiko Monnai
It has been found in recent heavy-ion experiments that the second and the third flow harmonics of direct photons are larger than most theoretical predictions. In this study, I cons…
